3.6M118 NES

Powerful winds require powerful turbines.

The 3.6M118 NES is a powerful addition to Senvion’s highly successful three megawatt platform for high wind-speed sites. With its optimized rotor design the new turbine can generate very high yields while keeping LCoE to a minimum. Equipped with Senvion NES (Next Electrical System), this new turbine is set up to comply with present and future grid code requirements and can be seamlessly integrated into electrical grids around the world. The 3.6M118 NES is mounted on a steel tower with a standard hub height of 91 meters and suitable for sites with medium to high wind speeds. Depending on project-specific requirements additional hub heights may also be available.

Senvion Technology

The 3.XM series features a well-proven modular and evolutionary technology concept. The smart and robust design results in a highly efficient and reliable turbine concept: from the aerodynamically optimized rotor blade, compact and efficient drivetrain, advanced control technology right through to the transformer. This flawless interplay delivers high energy yields while keeping sound emissions low.

The NES platform - An electrical system for any grid requirements

Our turbines, which are equipped with the Next Electrical System (NES), already fulfil the grid requirements of tomorrow. All NES turbines are based on the tried and tested MM and 3.XM series construction concept.

1

Generator/frequency converter

Variable speed range for optimum yields

Fully encapsulated generator with air-air heat exchanger

Optimum temperature inside generator, even at high ambient temperatures

Water-cooled converter power electronics for optimised cooling

The converter and controllers are located in the tower base, leaving even more space in the nacelle and making operation that much easier

2

Gear system

Planetary/spur gear

Satisfies stringent demands in terms of service life and operating smoothness in line with Senvion gear specifications

Elastomeric torque arm bearing for structure-borne sound insulation

Low temperature thanks to efficient oil cooling system

Three-stage oil filter system for excellent oil quality

3

Rotor blade

Individual blade profiles for optimal aerodynamics of the rotor

Robust aerodynamic design guarantees best possible performance, even in difficult wind conditions or when dirty
